This Question was thrown to me in an interview with a foreign firm and I wondered how its connected to tech.....I tried to answer but they said my response wasn't satisfactory. I would like to get your views to the question.
Question: Name one TRUTH that YOU believe about something that is known to the World, but that the average person would find unconventional or controversial, and would explicitly disagree with you on.

This is the popular Contrarian question, and it was asked by Peter Thiel -a German Billionaire entrepreneur. I believe your interviewers just twisted the question to seem a bit confusing.
Anyway, there isn't a particular answer to that question as the answers depend on an individual's opinion. Even I, myself, have different opinions regarding that question.

Evolution is real, since we've seen evolutions/changes occur in several animals. But, HUMAN evolution is NOT real. People just keep confusing and putting different meanings to the theory of evolution.
Scientists didn't say humans originated FROM apes, they simply said humans experienced evolution ALONG several other ape species. Humans are also technically apes; we are of just of different species from gorillas, orangutans, etc

This particular opinion is related to Nigeria:
Well, I think we need to give lesser attention to religion and more attention to science & technology, especially in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. We spend way much money, time and land to build church auditoriums and other religious centres, rather than building factories that will employ more people and boost our economy.
That's one opinion that I have, but I feel an average person would find unconventional or controversial, and would explicitly disagree with me on, even though such person knows it's the truth!

I don't even know what you were trying to educate me on my brother.... I only suggested a controversial answer that could be helpful in OP's questions? So In your own opinion, what is the right answer to his question? smiley

Lol, far from that, boss!
We're all here to learn, and no one knows it all, including me! I've just met lots of people that confuse this theory of evolution, and the confusion is so widespread that even I thought we evolved FROM apes. I had to study excessively for a long time, only to find out they meant we evoluted ALONG apes and it was just confusion in semantics. We all learn everyday, and I can also learn from you!

I understand my Brother... what they were just testing the OP was to find out if he can think on his feet.. That was the way I view it...His ability to provide a controversial answer that doesn't go down well with everyone is what they wanted...

It was just like asking on an interview, if you were an animal, what kind of Animal will that be and why...There was no specific answer to that question but if one's job requires attention to details and targets, one could go for an Eagle..

Exactly! That's why I made that opinion up there about religious centers. Corona virus pandemic CLEARLY showed us that we were seriously lacking in the country's health sector. We only have thousands upon thousands of religious centers, and NONE of those religious centers could even predict or cure the virus, rather they closed down, while waiting for other countries to find cure to the virus. If I were the president, I'll order so many of these religious centers to be demolished, and other buildings like hospitals and scientific research facilities to be built instead.

Please I beg of you, be wary of companies that ask stupid questions like this. They are useless 98% of the time. I know there are no jobs in Nigeria but please don't jump from fry pan to fire. This Interview style is completely meaningless and no one should be answering stupid questions like this in 2021.

The question has nothing to do with Tech, If this isn't your first job please avoid this company.
